The Irony Of Possession

 

...............

 

keeping someone locked 

inside a chamber or a cell

is not a punishment to them,

as much it is your own self made hell.

 

accept the delusion,

within your mind,

you will then be free,

and life will be more kind.

 

you're nobody different,

from anyone else in this game,

half of you is different,

and half is the same.

 

so we are all different,

and we are all the same,

but you seem not to want to accept that,

you still want to think your 100% special,

 

that, to me,

is a pitiful shame.

not a fan of rhyming poems I find often times the rhyme feels forced and there is almost no way arround that, but the message behind this poem rocked!

Much Love

thanks rabbit!! lol. i feel the same way about rhyming poems. i am blessed to work with differently abled children, so after a while, what becomes more obvious, is their abilities, ans societies' disabilities. ;-)

"No", she replied, "but I have experienced it. "
